Farmerbob2, I think I'm going to try putting it on the front of the loader without the bucket. Probably somewhat similar to the Curtis setup. Since I'm getting the tractor right at the beginning of snow season I believe I can adapt it quicker to the front of the loader. I do like the idea that if I need the bucket it would be a fairly quick change over. I'll have the blade set up as a quick attach.
I think a direct attach to the tractor would be best if I only had to use the blade for the winter. I think having to put the loader back on to use the bucket would get old after a few times even though it is supposed to be quick attach.
With the way my plow is built I won't have to cut any metal on it to attach to the loader. So if I change my mind, at least I won't have to undo anything there.

I am buying a GXH 45. It won't be here till early December. I got the hydro with a Westendorf TA-160 FEL and 60 inch bucket for $18,300. The loader was about $3000 of the price. The gear version is around 1500 less. I looked at one at a farm progress show and was impressed at how well it was built and its features. I almost went with a TC40 NH but the Mick had 4 more horsepower and was $1700 less. The front axle looked more substantial than the NH among other things and the engine is a Yanmar. The dealer I found is going to let me use a loaner till mine comes in. He's been far and away more helpfull than any others I've talked too. I'll be glad to answer any more questions.
